New Mexico Statutes Chapter 4. Counties § 4-38-13.2. Legislative findings; community value

The legislature finds that without the daily contributions and efforts of the thousands of worthwhile nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving sick and indigent persons in communities throughout New Mexico, the state would be inundated with constant requests for health, human and social services that it does not have revenue or resources to provide. The legislature finds that it is in the best interests of that population, as well as for all residents and taxpayers, that consideration be extended as real value recognition of the indispensable part these services contribute to the fabric of life in New Mexico.
